It's challenging to render an opinion without seeing what you're describing.

Trust your face to a local board-certified facial plastic surgeon or a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in blepharoplasty to undergo an evaluation. Don't be afraid to request before and after pictures at the time of the consultation, and to obtain second or third opinions in advance of your procedure.

Without pictures, it is very difficult to determine whether or not you're a candidate for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The primary goal of an upper eyelid surgery is to remove excess skin and a small amount of fat creating the puffiness look on the upper lids. For many examples, please see the link below to our eye lid surgery photo gallery

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately laser resurfacing weather with the Erbium or CO2 laser will not adequately correct upper eyelid folds. A simple upper blepharoplasty is the most effective treatment for this problem. Please see the link below.

As you are concerned by an aspect of appearance, which is visual, the
inclusion of just one photograph would have conveyed your particular situation
exactly. Without that this is general answer to assist your understanding.
You asked how to ‘get rid of
…unattractive lid folds. To have attractive eyes it is essential to have
attractive lid folds, so the issue really is ‘how can the lid folds be altered
to look attractive’. This is fundamental to anyone having eyelid surgery,
because with good surgery changing the lid fold, both its height above the lid
margin and its shape is one of the most predictable and also most successful
cosmetic surgery procedures available.

Predictably changing the lid folds is achieved using an
advanced version of the upper eyelid blepharoplasty called the tarsal fixation
technique. The works to define the lid crease securely and, therefore,
permanently as occurs naturally in people who were born with beautiful eyes.
With this ability to fix the
crease, the adjustments performed by the surgeon to the lid fold above are
controlled and lasting, without needing to be overdone as tends to occur with the standard operation.
This is good news for everyone
contemplating an improvement to their upper eyelids, which are so important to
having an attractive look.
